The thought of sending a model anywhere, by any method, terrifies me Ian. No matter how well it's packed, unless it's hovering in a vaccum, there's just got to be the chance that parts such as undercarriage legs will get damaged. The 1/32nd scale JU88 I'm building for the museum in Slavicin, Czech Republic, will be fixed to the diorama base, belly-landed, wheels up, but even so, I'm going to have to drive there myself to ensure it isn't damaged in transit!
